But I\u2019m about to do one of the <\/span>more<\/em> dumber things that I probably don\u2019t really need to be doing.\u00a0 Especially when I\u2019m already starting every single day at like an eight out of ten on the stress level as it is.\u00a0 But who knows, maybe this is something that can serve to be a distraction to how discontent I am with certain aspects of my life, and such would be tremendously welcome to help take my mind off how much my job makes me completely miserable.\u00a0 But on the flipside, as a result of this little experiment, I might be hangry <\/span>all the time<\/em>, and serve to make not just my own life, but those of my wife and child miserable if I\u2019m a torrent of anger all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the next month, or rather 28 days, I\u2019m going to be embarking on the Dr. Nowzaradan diet plan, of 1,200 calories a day, high protein-low carb.\u00a0 Or, for however long it takes for me to tap out and give in to the hunger, to which I really don\u2019t want to fail because I don\u2019t like failing in anything that I set out to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why the fuck am I going to be putting myself through this kind of hell?\u00a0 I don\u2019t weigh 600 lbs. I\u2019m not trying to get weight loss surgery.\u00a0 But after years of watching <\/span>My 600 Lb. Life<\/em> on TLC the greatest network in the history of humankind, I\u2019ve been clowning on the people who appear on the show for ages now.\u00a0 They\u2019re fascinating specimens of human beings, and it\u2019s not so much of the train wreck of watching another human being that has somehow managed to balloon up to 600+ lbs. as much as it\u2019s always interesting to learn about their history and their mental conditions that led to such horrific downward spirals.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the fact is that I have been clowning on the vast majority of the people, especially the ones who are quick to say yes, that they can cold turkey embark on the Dr. Now diet of 1,200 calories a day, but then fall so tremendously short of their initial weight loss goals, which has fluctuated between 50 in a month, 60 in two, or for those who really break the scales at first weigh-in, 100 in two.\u00a0 So, as mythical wife and I were watching the latest episode (S9 E12), and Tammy bungled her way through her first period of time and naturally missed the mark completely, and I asked her, <\/span>I wonder if I could do the Dr. Now diet?<\/em><\/p>\n

And just like that, the ball began rolling, and here I am, on the cusp of putting my life into dietary hell, for literally no reason at all other than to see if I can do it.\u00a0 I spent what little time I had today to do some cursory research on what kind of meals I could be eating, along with what foods I should be avoiding, and I\u2019m more or less prepared to dive right in starting tomorrow, and only time will tell how miserable I\u2019ll be, or how it\u2019s not that hard after all, and perhaps I\u2019ll lose some weight in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally, my goal isn\u2019t just to do the diet, but also to brog about it each and every day, as if I didn\u2019t already have enough things going on in my life to also take a slice of time to throw down some words about the experience.\u00a0 But who knows, much like the beer testing in December, maybe it\u2019ll encourage me to write more, and maybe I\u2019ll actually spit up some quality words in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

So the parameters are quite simple:
